WALTER FORBES & CO/ EDINBURGH & NEWCASTLE COBALT BLUE CYLINDER. 8.6ins tall, deep cobalt blue - a really difficult colour to capture accurately, almost veering towards hint of purple? Heavy blob lip. Embossed vertically ‘WALTER FORBES & Co’ & ‘EDINBURGH/ & NEWCASTLE’ with a large pictorial t.m between depicting a beaver carrying a stick, and the words ‘TRADE’ ‘MARK’ around. The bottle was reportedly dug from the famous ‘Green Bing’ site on the outskirts of Edinburgh & has been quite heavily polished. Still the only recorded example & thus another significant blue mineral water bottle offering. (8?/10)
